Junex Signs an Agreement with the Government of Qu?bec Regarding the Anticosti Permits
JULY 28, 2017 - QU?BEC, QUEBEC - Junex Inc. (the "Company" or "Junex") (TSX VENTURE: JNX) announces that it has signed a settlement agreement with the Government of Qu?bec (the "Settlement") regarding the return of its exploration permits on Anticosti Island in light of its repurposing.
In connection with the Settlement, Junex will receive an amount of $5,533,606, which corresponds to the amounts invested by the Company in connection with its permits on Anticosti Island. In consideration of those permits, Junex is assigning the Permits to the Government of Qu?bec, which is supporting the Municipality of Anticosti Island in its application to have Anticosti Island included on Canada's Tentative List for World Heritage Sites under UNESCO's Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. That process has been judged incompatible with oil and gas exploration activities.
"We have always believed in the strong hydrocarbon potential of our permits on Anticosti. Given the lack of infrastructure, our strategy was to attract a major industry player as a partner to develop that resource. The current position of the Government of Qu?bec does not allow us to achieve that objective. With almost $15M in working capital, we will continue to focus our efforts on the development of our main asset, the Galt Project, where our goal is commercial production. Our team of professionals is seeking to develop energy solutions that respond to the needs of Quebeckers," said Junex's President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jean-Yves Lavoie.
